Vavaalrav is a psychopomp usher who serves as the architect of the Boneyard and protector of sacred sites.1

Home

Vavaalrav's home is the Wailing Tor, a steepled tower in the middle of the Eight Courts.1

Appearance

Vavaalrav is a skeletal grey figure clad in a breastplate, robe, and a delicate silk veil covering the top of his head. His wings are made of stone, and he has three eyes on his right hand; it is unknown if there are any on his face.1

Cults

Vavaalrav's holy symbol is often carved into tombs or used as a model for headstones to help ward off any who would disturb the dead. Gargoyles who live in temples and tombs usually, at a minimum, pay lip service to him.1 A clan of marble-skinned gargoyles that claim to be descended from ancient worshippers of Vavaalrav still inhabit the Ruins of Nebrindae on the Elemental Plane of Air.2
